Course overview

Better videos, less guesswork—all from the comfort of your own phone.

In this live cohort, you’ll skip the wading through YT tutorials and conflicting advice to get real-time, practical guidance on creating high-quality video content from your phone. You’ll be able to ask questions, get direct feedback, and walk away with the skills to shoot, edit, and share content that actually works—without relying on expensive gear or hiring someone else to do it for you.

Who is this course for

01

Anyone who wants to create videos authentic to your business or personal brand.

02

Those who are overwhelmed by video production and unsure where to start —whether that's what equipment to use or how to edit their content.

03

For anyone eager to learn—business owners, entrepreneurs, content creators, marketers, sales professionals, and hobbyists.

04

Those who are NOT looking for only viral social media trends or flashy, inauthentic videos.

What you’ll get out of this course

Visual Storytelling 101

You’ll learn why certain elements in photos and videos stand out and how to use this knowledge to enhance your own content. We’ll examine how lighting, camera positioning, and framing can impact the story you’re telling.

Camera Setup 101

Learn to frame your footage with the right angles, lighting, and sound to keep the focus on your message. You don’t need expensive gear—you have a fantastic camera in your pocket. What matters is knowing how to use it to create visuals that enhance, not distract.

Locations 101

Not all locations are created equal. I’ll teach you what to look for, what to avoid, and why it matters—plus, you’ll get feedback on the spots you plan to shoot in so you can enhance production value and reinforce your brand.

Technical Skills 101

You’ll pick up the basics of sound, lighting, and camera settings for your shoots, plus you'll understand what can and cannot be fixed when you edit your content—without getting overwhelmed by the technical jargon.

Video Editing 101

We’ll walk through common editing platforms while I teach you the essentials to transform your raw footage into polished, professional content.
